OAKLAND – Guard Stephen Curry appeared to tweak his right ankle near the end of the second quarter of the Warriors’ Game 1 playoff game against the Houston Rockets.

Curry, who scored 24 first-half points, appeared to hurt himself while moving up court after missing a layup. It occurred near the Warriors bench, and while he subsequently made a steal of Rockets guard James Harden that led to an Andre Iguodala layup at the other end, Curry as limping after the play and exited the game with 1:07 to go in the half.

He got the ankle re-taped at halftime and started the third quarter, then left again about three minutes into the period.

Curry scored 24 first-half points as the Warriors built a 27-point lead at intermission.
